I bought the camera in the UK but I have since moved to Portugal and have only now had a chance to get the new camera out. This, I know, is my fault. But, nevertheless, I can't get it to work - the LCD monitor remains black when shooting whatever I do. It will take pictures via the optical viewfinder okay but I cannot get the screen to show. It works to display the settings etc but not for taking pictures so that when I press the display button it alternates between the photo settings (which

Canon models oddly do not support images on the LCD in every picture mode. Since the LCD works for settings, my guess is its in the wrong mode for the live view and its is not an issue with the camera's LCD.\015\012\015\012Here is a link to the ...

My sony cyber-shot dsc-w55 7.2 mega pixel camera turn on but the lens goes in and out many times and i get the word access on the screen then i get a message says turn the power off and on again, I did that many times , but it did not work, and I can't get the menu button to work or display any thing, so I am wondering what is the problem and how to fix it?

My fugi finepix s1500 is displaying the Frame No. Full on the screen. Everything I have read says just to go into the menu and change it from continuous to renew. I did that and it worked but then my camera turned off and the Frame No. Full is back on the screen and I can't get it to go away no matter what I do. How do I fix it?

Olympus X-42 Camera - the screen has gone white (with a few thin green/purple vertical lines). When I switch on the camera the screen is white, there is no picture or menu displayed. I have checked by plugging it into the tv, and it takes pictures and goes into menus fine - it just doesn't display anything on camera screen. I have only had the camera for a week, and have not stored it anywhere humid. Is there anything I can do to fix, or do I just have to take it to get repaired?

There doesn't appear to be a solution. I have had to send mine off to be repaired. They don't provide a camera case but it is a very necessary piece of aquipment. I was told that the screen had been pressed. I can only think that this occured when tr ...

White screen? My camera has suddenly stopped working. When I press the red 'shoot' or green 'review' button, all I get on the display is a white screen. Pressing the shutter button does make it shoot, and the zoom and the flash work. I have just taken the card out and examined the jpg files - it is still taking pictures. So it's the display that is busted. I guess my question is: Is it worth the repair bill to get it fixed?

Hi!
My camera powers up, shows the EasyShare splash screen, then nothing can be viewed either on the LCD or via the eye viewer. Yep, the cap is off so that's not obstructing it; there is plenty of light, the flash is on but does't work.
I also can't get the Menu or Review to display on the LCD. This has just begun happening, no damage to the unit, it's fully charged... Please help!!!
Thank you so much!
Tracy

Hi Tracy.The symptoms are those of an internal hardware failure. The camera starts up, indicating that it is powered. Then it shows the splash screen, which says that the LCD is working. Then the camera crashes while doing the initial tes ...

Good Morning; My favorite grandson was playing with my Fugi FinePix S700 and now I cannot get the thing to work. Batteries are fine and fully charged.

I wish to know how to get the camera to take pictures again, has there been a setting moved or something ??

My CoolPix L10 camera display will not turn on - it sometimes will work as a video recorder, but I cannot get the display to come one. A red light just above the menu button will flash and then go off and the on light flashes. The camera is only about a year old and used to work great.

The iris is probably shut closed or the CCD is bad. The iris controls the amount of light that enters the CCD (charged coupled device). Sometime the iris get moisture inside and cannot open. Or the CCD is defective. Leave it in a dry environment for ...

Dark LCD I have an A70, about a year old. The problem is the LCD screen is very dark. It is almost completely black unless I point the camera dirrectly at light. If I take a picture with the viewfinder the picture is exactly what the LCD screen looks like. This happened as we were using the camera. I also cannot view any of the pictures in the camera. I no the display is not completly out because it works to access the menu screen. It wasn't droped or anything. I can't find any setting to change

When I turn the camera on I get the message "memory card error". The only button on the camera which then works is the menu button but it just brings up the screen and then the same error message. Yes, I have replaced the memory card and the first memory card works in our other camera so it is not a problem with the card. My computer also fails to recognise the camera when I connect it via the usb port. Any bright ideas?

You need to format the card in the camera. Go into the menu and scroll to "format" and follow the on-screen instructions. This will erase and initialize the card . To download pictures, the most trouble-free way is to use a card reader and download t ...

The camera was working fine. I imported the pictures to Picassa succesfully and turned the camera off. I then went to take new pictures and all I get is a black LCD screen and when I load into Picassa the pictures are all black. The camera seems to work well, zoom, flash menu all seem normal except there is no picture. Can it be fixed and would it be cost effective?

The CCD is bad or the Iris is shut stuck. If it's the Iris just stuck, it might just have moisture - leave the camera in a dry place for a day. If it's the CCD - pretty much "kiss-it-good-bye". To replace the CCD is expensive - get a new camera. ...

I replaced the lcd display screen with a new one ordered on an internet site. When the camera is powered on, all I Get is a white screen. All other functions seem to work normally. Do you think I got a bad replacement screen, or is there something else wrong with the camera ??

I have a sony cybershot, model DSC-W55. when i press the power on button, the camera does not turn on as it usualy does. instead, i get a black screen with the word Access on it. (also, when i turn the camera on, the lenses keep going in and out more frequently than before.) so the screen Access screen is just there right now, but when i click buttons like menu or display it makes beeping noises and it says 'press power on and off again '. i can still view the pictures i've taken but can't seem

Faulty d40x hi i bought a d40x off ebay the other day and couldnt wait to start snapping.... problems: - The error message

Upon turning the camera off and on again, the same message appears. After
several times trying it still does not work. Also, the menu screen

this, on the playback mode, the picture of the image displayed keeps zooming in

Hi there. I have an Olympus E-510 that is about 3 years old. It's been working fabulous until just until recently. I connected the camera to my computer and downloaded some photos just like I always do with no problems - disconnecting it as I always do (USB). The next time I went to use the camera, the USB storage screen shows up and I can't get it to go back to the original setting to take photos. I can still download any images from the camera but can't get off that menu. I've tried the reset

I'm not really sure what's going on, but it could also be a hardware problem, or maybe ribbon connector inside the camera from the usb port to the main board, or maybe a bent pin in the usb connector.\015\012Check it out carefully, and remove t ...

Can't get a picture on the screen - just shows black. When we turn the camera on the LCD screen displays the function choices and menu options, but will not display any image. If we take a picture using the view finder and then check for the image, nothing is displayed. We just checked the memory card, and it doesn't even take a photo. All we got was black. Any suggestions?

When I switch on my camera I get 'Err CF' on the display. According to the handbook I have to format the compact flash card - when it is formatted the menu will reappear - the menu does Not reappear bu 'Err 99' does.

Turn camera on, and it used to display the photo I was ready to shoot. Had this feature for a few weeks, now I only get the menu and a black screen
How can I get that display back?

If you were seeing the image before you shoot, there was definitely something wrong with your camera.The D40 does not have a Live View feature. The display is for menus, shooting information, and image review. Not preview. ...
